Mission Stories from Africa—Elder Carlos A. Godoy, "Smiling Faces and Grateful Hearts"
2026/03/30

Mitch and Clay were joined by Greg Wilson, the guy who likely made the furniture you pull out for ward parties. Greg founded Mity (aka Mity-Lite) to create lightweight tables and chairs for the church. He grew it into a multinational company, supplying the church but also schools and other venues, before selling it 20 years ago. In retirement, the Wilsons served a mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where they experienced incredible things and made lifelong friends. Greg is one of the biggest advocates for everyone, but especially seniors, to serve missions. Hopefully his stories inspire you to put in your papers!
This episode touches on gratitude, poverty, senior missionary service, Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, miracles, dedication, trusting the Lord, and much more!
